1 Kings 8:14-21 - Solomon's Address To The People

¹⁴ And thy king will turn his face round and bless all the convocation of Israel; and all the convocation of Israel stood; ¹⁵ And he will say, Blessed Jehovah the God of Israel, who spake by his mouth to David my father, and by his hand filled up, saying, ¹⁶ From the day which I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt I chose not a city from all the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name to be there; and I will choose upon David to be over my people Israel ¹⁷ And it will be with the heart of David my father to build a house for name of Jehovah the God of Israel ¹⁸ And Jehovah will say to David my father, Because it was with thy heart to build a house for my name, it was good it was with thy heart ¹⁹ But thou shalt not build a house, but thy son coming forth from thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. ²⁰ And Jehovah will raise up his word which he spake; and I shall rise instead of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake; and I will build the house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel ²¹ And I will set there a place for the ark, where is there the covenant of Jehovah which he cut out with our fathers in his bringing them out of the land of Egypt
